Swift flowing waters.
The name Antietam means swift flowing waters and co incidently I found a link, somewhat late in the day as sculpting is well progressed that is most informative.
Lots of information here including topography, streams and soil types. I has started to fill the ploughed fields with microwaved soil but realised that this would look strange with sand coloured roads etc.

In the meantime I have been completing the sunken road, Piper cornfield and orchard along with the Roulette farm.
View towards the sunken lane.
Sunken lane looking north.
Clip house, the girls are out for stroll.
Mr Roulettes bee hives and Mumma stream.
The 132 Pennsylvania regiment suffered here in the original action when a Confederate shell disturbed the bees causing them to swarm.
The Roulette farm under construction.
The trial photos are a brilliant way to discover errant fencing etc.
Off to the West woods I think next which will start to key things together a little.
Lots to do.
